Some good advice from Drinkaware for parents and guardians to ensure the Junior Cert results night is a safe one:

Don’t wait for an alcohol-related incident to happen; talk to children early and often.

Talk openly about their plans: Who is going? Where is it? How will they get home? Will alcohol be available? When is the curfew?

Set rules for the night together: You should both be fully aware of your rules in relation to alcohol. What are the consequences for breaking the rules?

Engage with other parents: Talk to the parents of your child’s friends and ensure you are familiar with their rules about alcohol.

Safety is key: Remind your child that they can call or text you if they feel unsafe or unwell at any point during the night.

Provide an alternative to a night out: Could you host a party in your home? If so, remember that it is illegal to serve alcohol to minors and parental supply of alcohol is associated with increased risks.
